The 7,764-square-foot, two-story home at 1080 Hickory Hill Road is being offered for $1,695,000.

Walk beside white columns and art niches to a backyard that features a spectacular pool and spa. The estate also has a pond.

The home is designed for entertaining with stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen, a wine room, a fully equipped media room and a game room. There are two master suites on the first floor and four bedrooms upstairs.

For the horse lover, the estate is ideal for horses with a custom-designed, two-stall loafing shed plus tack and feed areas.
